Both are easy to use and show results for any wireless networks in your area.įor iPhone users, the Airport Utility App does require you to go into your device settings and turn on the Wi-Fi scanner. To measure Wi-Fi signal strength on your phone or tablet, you can use the Airport Utility App for iPhone and iPad, or Wi-Fi Analyzer for Android. An excellent connection is -50 dBm, while -60 dBm is likely good enough to stream, handle voice calls, and anything else. However, if you spot a Wi-Fi signal listed at -90, the service is so weak you probably can’t connect to that network. If you see -30, you have a “perfect connection,” and likely, are standing next to the Wi-Fi router.

The first thing to know is measurements of dBm will display in negative numbers. It is more about finding the best connection in order to be able to maximize the virtual workouts.

The further away from the modem the worse the connection and inability to stream/video conference. I have tested the Airport Utility app listed below in my own home and found it to be helpful/accurate.
